It's possible to give the right to create folders to users that do not have administrative rights to webfm?
My users can upload files but they would need the ability to create folders.

Cheers

I agree, creating folders shouldnt have to be an admin specific function. I need my users to be able to create folders within their own root folders, it just makes way more sense that way.

is there a way to change this, or to have a permission option to "allow folder creating"

I changed this among other things in order to suit my needs, see this first draft of a patch. I would argue that this makes only sense in combination with user directories. Now users have:

- A user directory where they alone (and the administrator) has access and can create subfolders, hence a private area
- A role directory (if enabled) which they share with all other role-members, the shared area

I must admit that I have not thoroughly tested my changes and you are likely to encounter errors (permission problems)

zehninguem, I am afraid this currently is not possible.

Sorry.
